Zeta-Jones Takes Stand in Stalking Case

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Catherine Zeta-Jones took the stand Wednesday and read from 19 letters containing death threats written by a woman charged with stalking the Oscar-winning actress. The letters suggested Zeta-Jones would be chopped into pieces "like Sharon Tate was," and referred to the violent deaths of President Kennedy and Nicole Brown Simpson. In a quavering voice, Zeta-Jones, 35, gave more than three hours of testimony at a preliminary hearing that will determine if there is enough evidence to order defendant Dawnette Knight, 32, to trial.
